  FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of the present embodiment. The gaming machine of this embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 100 (game control means) and a sub board 102. The functions of each board such as the main board 100 and the sub-board 102 include various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), or hardware such as RAM, This is realized by software including a given program stored in advance in a ROM or the like.

  The main board 100 is input from input means such as a pass gate sensor 104, a first start prize port sensor 106, a second start prize port sensor 108, a first big prize port sensor 110, a second big prize port sensor 112, and a payout sensor 116. In response to the input signal, various computations for executing the game are performed, and based on the computation results, the state display drive device 120, the normal accessory drive device 122, the first special accessory drive device 124, and the second special feature drive Operation control of the output means such as the accessory driving device 126 and the payout device 130 is performed.

  In addition, the sub-board 102 receives the signal sent from the main board 100 and the input signal from the effect button switch 150, and performs various calculations for executing the effects in accordance with the progress of the game. Based on the result, operation control of the effect devices 176 such as the effect display device 170, the sound device 172, and the effect product driving device 174 is performed.

  The main board 100 includes a random number generation unit 210, a normal lottery unit 220, a normal display control unit 222, a normal accessory control unit 224, a special lottery unit 230, a special display control unit 240, a game state transition control unit 250, and a special game. The execution unit 260, the small hit game execution unit 262, the payout control unit 270, the communication control unit 280, and the main memory 290 are configured.

  The random number generation means 210 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator for generating hardware random numbers or a program for generating software random numbers. For example, the software random number can be generated based on a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The normal lottery means 220 obtains a random number for normal lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the pass gate sensor 104 that detects the game balls passing through the pass gate 39 one by one. A normal lottery is performed to determine whether or not the normal lottery random value is stored in the normal random number storage unit 2912 of the main memory 290 and read from the normal random number storage unit 2912.

  Specifically, the ordinary random number storage unit 2912 is provided with four ordinary reserved storage areas, a normal reserved storage area 1 to a normal reserved storage area 4, as storage areas for storing the acquired random numbers for normal lottery. One normal reserved storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the normal lottery random values read from the storage area 1 and performing the normal lottery until the normal symbol variation display and stop display are completed. When the normal lottery means 220 acquires the normal lottery random value from the random number generator 210, the normal lottery means 220 acquires the normal lottery random number value in any of the normal reserved storage area 1 to the normal reserved storage area 4. The random number for ordinary lottery is first stored in the ordinary reserved storage area 1. When the random number for normal lottery is stored in the normal reserved storage area 1, the normal symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped display, that is, the random number for normal lottery is not stored in the normal reserved storage area. When the control for opening the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is not being executed, the normal lottery is performed by immediately reading the random number for the normal lottery from the normal holding storage area 1 and performing the normal lottery. The random number value is stored in the normal reserved storage area. On the other hand, whether or not the normal symbol is in a variable display or stopped display, that is, the normal lottery random number is stored in the normal reserved storage area, or the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is opened. If it is in the middle, the random number for normal lottery is held in the normal hold storage area 1.

  When the normal lottery random value is held in the normal holding storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the passing gate sensor 104 and the normal lottery random value is acquired, the normal lottery means 220 On the condition that the number of random numbers for normal lottery held in the normal holding storage area 1 to the normal holding storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, on the condition that the number of normal holding is less than 4. The random number for normal lottery is stored in the normal reserved storage area in which the random number for normal lottery is not held among the normal reserved storage area 1 to the normal reserved storage area 4 and the ordinal number is the smallest.

  When the normal symbol variation display and stop display are completed, the normal lottery means 220 erases the normal lottery random number value stored in the normal reserved storage area, and the normal lottery random number value is stored in the normal hold storage area 1. Is held, the random number for the normal lottery is read out from the normal holding storage area 1 on the condition that the control for opening the movable member 54 of the normal accessory 55 is not being executed, and the normal lottery is performed. The normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has been performed is stored in the normal reserved storage area. If the normal lottery random value remains after the normal hold storage area 2, the normal lottery random number remaining in the normal hold storage area has an ordinal number one less than the original normal hold storage area. Move to. For example, when the random number for normal lottery remains in the normal hold storage area 2 to the normal hold storage area 3, it is moved to the normal hold storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 2.

  In this way, the normal random number storage means 2912 holds the normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has been performed up to one in the normal hold storage area, while the normal lottery random value for which the normal lottery has not been performed is normally reserved. In the storage area 1 to the normal hold storage area 4, four are held as upper limits.

  Hereinafter, details of the normal lottery will be described. The normal lottery means 220 performs a normal winning determination process, a normal variation pattern determination process, and the like as the normal lottery.

  The normal hit determination process is a process for determining whether or not the normal hit is true. In the normal winning determination process, the normal lottery means 220 refers to which normal lottery table among the plurality of types of normal lottery tables stored in the lottery table storage means 2910 of the main memory 290 to perform the random number determination process. Is determined according to the gaming state.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the normal lottery table A and the normal lottery table B are stored in the lottery table storage means 2910. In each normal lottery table, each of 100 random numbers for normal lottery from 0 to 99 is stored. On the other hand, normal hit or loss is associated. In detail, in the normal lottery table A, the correspondence between the normal win or losing and a plurality of random numbers is set so that the normal win is won with a probability of about 13/20. In the normal lottery table B, about 19/20 Correspondence between the normal winning or losing and the random numbers for normal lottery of 0 to 99 is set so that the normal winning is won with a probability of 20. The normal lottery means 220 selects the normal lottery table A when the gaming state is the normal state or the special state, and selects the normal lottery table B when the gaming state is the probability change state or the short time state. .

  Then, the normal lottery means 220 refers to the selected normal lottery table and determines whether or not one normal lottery random number value read from the normal hold storage area 1 of the normal random number storage means 2912 is associated with a normal hit. To determine whether or not the normal winning is won.

  The normal lottery means 220 sets the normal winning flag in the flag storage means 2916 of the main memory 290 when the normal win is won, and sets the normal win flag to the ON state. Set the winning flag OFF.

  The normal variation pattern determination process is a process for determining which of the plurality of variation patterns the variation pattern of the normal symbol is made according to the gaming state. In the normal variation pattern determination process, the normal lottery means 220 determines that the normal symbol variation pattern is the normal variation pattern 1 when the gaming state is the normal state or the special state, and the gaming state is the probability variation state or the short time state. In some cases, the normal pattern variation pattern is determined to be the normal variation pattern 2.

  The normal display control means 222 is a means for controlling the state display driving device 120 based on the lottery result of the normal lottery, and performs normal symbol display control processing and normal hold display control processing.

  In the normal symbol display control process, the normal display control means 222 blinks the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 until the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol determined in the normal variation pattern determination process elapses. The normal symbol is variably displayed, and the normal symbol is stopped and displayed by turning on or off the two lamps of the normal symbol display unit 72 according to whether or not the normal winning is won in the normal hit determining process. The normal lottery result is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 72.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is the ordinary variation pattern 1, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is set to 2 seconds, and when the variation pattern of the ordinary symbol is the ordinary variation pattern 2. The normal symbol variation time is set to 0.5 seconds. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the game state at the time when the normal lottery is performed is the normal state or the special state, the variation pattern of the normal symbol is determined as the normal variation pattern 1 so that the variation time of the normal symbol is changed. If the game state at the time when the normal lottery is set is 2 seconds and the game state is in the probabilistic state or the short-time state, the normal symbol variation pattern is determined as the normal variation pattern 2, thereby changing the normal symbol variation time. Since the time is set to 0.5 seconds, the normal lottery is triggered more frequently when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state or in the short time state.

  In the normal hold display control process, the normal display control means 222 turns on, turns off, or blinks the two lamps of the normal hold display section 74 according to the number of random numbers for normal lottery stored in the normal random number storage means 2912. Depending on the combination, the number of normal holdings of 0 to 4 is displayed.

  The ordinary accessory control means 224 is a means for controlling the ordinary accessory driving device 122 based on the lottery result of the ordinary lottery, and performs the ordinary accessory control processing 1, the ordinary accessory control processing 2, and the like.

  In the normal actor control process 1, when the gaming state is a normal state or a special state, the normal symbol is displayed until 3 seconds elapses when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating winning in a normal win. The drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed so that the 55 returns to the closed state after the open state.

  In the normal actor control process 2, when the gaming state is a probable change state or a short-time state, the normal symbol is displayed until 5 seconds elapses when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode indicating winning in the normal win. The drive control of the ordinary accessory driving device 122 is performed so that the 55 returns to the closed state after the open state.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the normal accessory 55 is more likely to enter the second start winning opening 53 in the normal accessory control process 2 than in the normal accessory control process 1 so that the ease of entering the game ball is increased. Operate.

  The special lottery means 230 is for special lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start prize port sensor 106 that detects the game balls entering the first start prize port 46 one by one. A random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 of the main memory 290 as the first special random number value. The special lottery means 230 also receives a special lottery from the random number generation means 210 based on the detection signal input from the second start prize port sensor 108 that detects the game balls entering the second start prize slot 53 one by one. A random number value is acquired and stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as the second special random number value. Then, the special lottery means 230 performs a special lottery that determines whether or not the jackpot is won using the first special random number value or the second special random number value read from the special random number storage means 2914.

  Specifically, the special random number storage unit 2914 includes four first special reserved storage areas, a first special reserved storage area 1 to a first special reserved storage area 4, as storage areas for storing the acquired first special random number value. The first special special storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the first special random number value read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and subjected to the special lottery until the first special symbol change display and stop display are completed. A reserved storage area is provided, and four second special reserved storage areas of a second special reserved storage area 1 to a second special reserved storage area 4 are provided as storage areas for storing the acquired second special random number value, One second special reserved storage area is provided as a storage area for storing the second special random number value read from the special reserved storage area 1 and performing the special lottery until the second special symbol variable display and stop display are completed. It has been.

  And the special lottery means 230 will acquire the random number value for special lottery based on the detection signal input from the 1st start winning opening sensor 106, The 1st special reservation storage area 1-the 1st special reservation storage area 4 In any state in which the first special random number value is not stored, the acquired special lottery random value is first stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 as the first special random number value. When the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area 1, the first special symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area. Is not stored, the game state is not the special game state, and the small hit game is not being executed, the first special random number value is immediately read from the first special hold storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed. The first special random number value for which the lottery has been performed is stored in the first special reserved storage area. On the other hand, whether the first special symbol is in a variable display or a stop display, that is, whether the first special random number is stored in the first special reserved storage area, or whether the gaming state is a special gaming state, When the winning game is being executed, the first special random number value is held in the first special hold storage area 1.

  When the first special random number value is held in the first special hold storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the first start winning port sensor 106 and the random number for special lottery is acquired, The special lottery means 230 is based on the condition that the number of the first special random number values reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is less than 4, that is, the first special reserved number. Is a reserved storage area in which the first special random number value is not reserved among the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, and the ordinal number is the smallest. Stored in one special reserved storage area as a first special random number value.

  Further, when the special lottery means 230 acquires the random number for special lottery based on the detection signal input from the second start winning a prize opening sensor 108, the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 In any state in which no second special random number value is stored, the acquired special lottery random value is first stored in the second special reserved storage area 1 as the second special random number value. When the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserved storage area 1, the second special symbol is not being displayed in a variable or stopped state, that is, the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserved storage area. Is not stored, the game state is not the special game state, and the small hit game is not being executed, the second special random number value is immediately read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed. The second special random number value for which the lottery has been performed is stored in the second special reserved storage area. On the other hand, whether the second special symbol is in a variable display or a stop display, that is, whether the second special random number is stored in the second special reserved storage area, or whether the gaming state is a special gaming state, When the winning game is being executed, the second special random number value is held in the second special hold storage area 1.

  When the second special random number value is held in the second special hold storage area 1 and the detection signal is further input from the second start winning port sensor 108 and the special lottery random number value is acquired, The special lottery means 230 is based on the condition that the number of second special random number values reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 is less than four, that is, the second special reserved number. Is the second special reserved storage area in which the second special random number value is not reserved among the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the ordinal number is minimum. Is stored as a second special random value in the second special reserved storage area.

  And the special lottery means 230 will erase | eliminate the 1st special random number value stored in the said 1st special reserved storage area, after the fluctuation | variation display and stop display of a 1st special symbol are complete | finished. When the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserve storage area 1, the first special reserve storage is performed on the condition that the gaming state is not the special gaming state and the small hit game is not being executed. The first special random number value is read from the area 1 and a special lottery is performed, and the first special random number value for which the special lottery has been performed is stored in the first special reserved storage area. Further, when the variable display and stop display of the second special symbol are completed, the second special random number value stored in the second special reserved storage area is deleted. When the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserve storage area 1, the second special reserve memory is stored on condition that the game state is not the special game state and the small hit game is not being executed. The second special random number value is read from the area 1 and a special lottery is performed, and the second special random value that has been subjected to the special lottery is stored in the second special reserved storage area. That is, in this embodiment, since the first special random number value and the second special random number value are digested in parallel, the variation display of the second special symbol is started during the variation display of the first special symbol, or the second special symbol is displayed. During the variation display, the variation display of the first special symbol may be started.

  In addition, when the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area 1, the second special random number value is stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4. On the condition that the first special random number storage area 1 is read, the first special random number value is read out from the first special random storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed. When the special random number value is stored, even if the first special random number value is stored in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, the second special reserved storage area A special lottery may be performed by reading the second special random number value from 1. That is, the second special random value may be given priority over the first special random value. Regardless of whether the value is the first special random value or the second special random value, the first special random value or the second special random value is read out in the order stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 and a special lottery is performed. You may make it perform. That is, the first special random number value or the second special random number value may be digested in the order in which the game balls enter the first start winning opening 46 or the second starting winning opening 53.

  Then, when the first special random number value remains after the first special reserved storage area 2 when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1, or the second special reserved memory is stored. If the second special random number value remains after the second special reserved storage area 2 when the second special random number value is read from the area 1, the remaining first special random value or second special random value The random number value is moved from the original special reserved storage area to the special reserved storage area whose ordinal number is smaller by one. For example, when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the first special random number value remains in each of the first special reserved storage area 2 to the first special reserved storage area 4 The first special random number stored in each of the first special reserved storage area 2 to the first special reserved storage area 4 is assigned to each of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 3. When the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1, the second special random number value remains in each of the second special reserved storage area 2 to the second special reserved storage area 3. In this case, the second special random number stored in each of the second special reserved storage area 2 to the second special reserved storage area 3 is changed to the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 2, respectively. Move to.

  In this way, in the special random number storage means 2914, the first special random number value for which no special lottery has been performed is reserved up to four in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, and the special lottery is performed. The second special random number value that has not been reserved is reserved in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 with an upper limit of four.

  The details of the special lottery will be described below. The special lottery means 230 receives a jackpot determination random number value, a symbol determination random number value as a special lottery random value based on the detection signal input from the first start winning port sensor 106 or the second start winning port sensor 108. A plurality of types of random values such as a variation group determination random value, a first half variation pattern determination random value, and a second half variation pattern determination random value are acquired, and these plurality of types of random values are stored in the special random number storage unit 2914 as the first special random number value or Stored as the second special random value. The special lottery means 230 performs jackpot determination processing, symbol determination processing, variation group determination processing, first half variation pattern determination processing, second half variation pattern determination processing, and the like as special lottery.

  The jackpot determination process is a single jackpot determination random number included in the first special random number value or the second special random number value stored in the first special reserved storage area 1 or the second special reserved storage area 1 of the special random number storage unit 2914. This is a process of reading a numerical value and determining whether or not a big hit or a small hit is appropriate.

Each of these is associated with the unreachable variation pattern 1.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 refers to the selected latter half variation pattern lottery table and associates one read latter half variation pattern determination random number value with any of a plurality of types of reach variation patterns and a plurality of types of reach variation patterns. By determining whether or not it is determined, one second-half variation pattern is determined from the plurality of types of reachless variation patterns and the plurality of types of reach variation patterns.

  Accordingly, in the latter half variation pattern determination process, when a loss occurs, one of the variation pattern without reach 1 to 3 and the variation pattern with reach 1 and reach variation pattern 5 shown in FIG. 10 is determined. In the case of winning the jackpot, any one of the reach fluctuation patterns 1 to 5 shown in FIG. 11 (A) to FIG. 11 (E) is determined. The reachless variation pattern 1 shown in FIG. 11 (F) is determined.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, variation times are set for each of a plurality of types of first-half variation patterns and a plurality of types of latter-half variation patterns. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, there is no first-half variation pattern to first-half variation pattern 2 and first-half variation pattern 9 that can be determined in the first-half variation pattern determination process in the event of a loss. A relatively short variation time of seconds is set, and the first variation pattern 3 to the first variation pattern 7 that can be determined by the first variation pattern determination process both in the case of losing and in the case of winning the jackpot, 10 seconds to 30 seconds A relatively long variation time of seconds is set.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a relatively short fluctuation time of 1 to 5 seconds is included in the non-reach fluctuation pattern 1 to the non-reach fluctuation pattern 3 that can be determined in the latter half fluctuation pattern determination process in the case of a loss. Reach fluctuation pattern 1 to reach fluctuation pattern 5 that can be determined in both the latter half fluctuation pattern determination process for both the case where the game is lost and the jackpot is won, and a relatively long fluctuation time of 20 to 60 seconds. Is set.

  Therefore, even if a loss occurs, the first half variation pattern 3 to the first half variation pattern 7 for which a relatively long variation time is set are determined in the first half variation pattern determination process, and the comparison is performed in the second half variation pattern determination process. When the reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5 in which a long variation time is set is determined, the player can have a sense of expectation for winning the jackpot.

  In the present embodiment, the first special random number value is lost, and when the gaming state is the normal state and the number of first special random number values held is 0 to 1, in the variable group determination process, 7A, the variation group lottery table A shown in FIG. 7A is referred to, so that the group 2 or the group 3 can be easily determined. Thus, in the first-half variation pattern determination process, the first-half variation pattern lottery in the lost state shown in FIG. The first half fluctuation pattern 1 in which the fluctuation time is set to 3 seconds or the first half in which the fluctuation time is set to 5 seconds with reference to the table B or the first half fluctuation pattern lottery table C shown in FIG. The variation pattern 2 is easily determined. In the latter half variation pattern determination process, the latter half variation pattern lottery table B shown in FIG. 10B or the variation pattern determination table B shown in FIG. Loss when it consults the late variation pattern lottery table C, time-varying 2 or fluctuation time reach without variation pattern is set to 2 seconds is reach without variation pattern 3 is set to 5 seconds it is likely to be determined.

  Further, when the first special random number value is lost, the gaming state is the normal state, and the number of the first special random number value is 2 to 3, the variable group determination process performs FIG. ) Is referred to and group 1 or group 2 is easily determined, so that in the first-half variation pattern determination process, the first-half variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 8A or FIG. With reference to the first-half variation pattern lottery table B for the loss shown in (B), the first-half variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 0 seconds or the first-half variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 3 seconds is determined. In the latter half variation pattern determination process, the latter half variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 10 (A) or the latter half during the loss shown in FIG. 10 (B). Referenced kinematic pattern lottery table B, without reach varying time is set to one second or fluctuation pattern 1, time-varying reach no variation pattern 2 that is set to 2 seconds is likely to be determined.

  In addition, when the first special random number value is lost, the game state is the normal state, and the number of the first special random number value is four, in the variable group determination process, FIG. The variation group lottery table C shown is referred to, and the group 1 is easily determined. Therefore, in the first half variation pattern determination process, the first half variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. It is easier to determine the absence of the first half variation pattern set to 0 seconds. In the second half variation pattern determination process, the latter half variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. The set reachless variation pattern 1 is easily determined.

  In addition, when the first special random number value is lost, and the gaming state is in the probabilistic state, the special state, or the short-time state, the variable group determination process does not depend on the number of holding the first special random number value. By referring to the variation group lottery table D shown in (D) and making it easier to determine the group 0, in the first half variation pattern determination process, the first half variation pattern lottery table H at the time of losing shown in FIG. In the latter half variation pattern determination process, the latter half variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 10A is referred to and the variation time is determined. It is easy to determine the reachless variation pattern 1 in which is set to 1 second.

  In addition, when the second special random number value is lost and the gaming state is the normal state, the fluctuation group determination process performs the fluctuation shown in FIG. 7E regardless of the number of the second special random number value held. Since the group lottery table E is referred to and the group 6 is easily determined, in the first half variation pattern determination process, the first half variation pattern lottery table F shown in FIG. 8F is referred to, and the variation time is 590 seconds. The first-half variation pattern 8 set to “5” is easily determined, and in the latter-half variation pattern determination process, the variation time is set to 1 second with reference to the latter-half variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 10A. The reachless variation pattern 1 is easily determined.

  In addition, when the second special random number value is lost, the game state is a probable change state, a special state, or a short time state, and the number of second special random number values held is 0 to 1, a variable group determination process Then, the variation group lottery table F shown in FIG. 7 (F) is referred to, and the group 7 can be easily determined. Therefore, in the first half variation pattern determination process, the first half variation pattern lottery table G in the lost state shown in FIG. 8 (G). Is referred to, and the first half fluctuation pattern 9 in which the fluctuation time is set to 1 second is easily determined. In the latter half fluctuation pattern determination process, the latter half fluctuation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 10A is referred to. Thus, the reachless variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined.

  In addition, when the second special random number value is lost, the game state is a probable change state, a special state, or a short time state, and the number of second special random number values held is 2 to 4, the variable group determination process Then, the variation group lottery table G shown in FIG. 7G is referred to, and the group 0 is easily determined. Therefore, in the first half variation pattern determination process, the first half variation pattern lottery table H in the lost state shown in FIG. , It is easy to determine the absence of the first half variation pattern whose variation time is set to 0 seconds. In the second half variation pattern determination process, the latter half variation pattern lottery table A shown in FIG. 10A is referred to. Thus, the reachless variation pattern 1 in which the variation time is set to 1 second is easily determined.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first special random number value is lost, the shorter the variation time of the first special symbol value is, the larger the reserved number of the first special random number value is in the normal state. Since it is often set, it is possible to increase the frequency at which the special lottery is triggered. Furthermore, in the probability variation state, the special state, or the short time state, an extremely short variation time is often set as the variation time of the first special symbol regardless of the number of the first special random number value being held. Can be made extremely high in frequency.

  On the other hand, if the second special random number value is lost, in the normal state, an extremely long variation time is set as the variation time of the second special symbol regardless of the number of reserved second special random number values. Therefore, the frequency at which the special lottery is triggered can be made extremely low. On the other hand, in the probability variation state, the special state, or the short-time state, the more the number of the second special random numbers held, the more often the variation time of the second special symbol is set. Can be made extremely high in frequency.

  Also, in the case of a small hit, regardless of whether it is the first special random value or the second special random value, and regardless of the number of holdings, in the first half variation pattern determination process, FIG. The first variation pattern lottery table shown in FIG. 11 is referenced to determine that there is no first variation pattern whose variation time is set to 0 seconds. In the second variation pattern determination process, the small hit time illustrated in FIG. With reference to the latter half fluctuation pattern lottery table, the reachless fluctuation pattern 1 in which the fluctuation time is set to 1 second is determined.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when a small hit is made, an extremely short variation time is set as the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol regardless of the number of holdings. Can be made extremely high in frequency.

  In addition, as described above, the special lottery means 230 is special when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not variably displayed, and the game state is not the special game state and the small hit game is not being executed. The first special random number value or the second special random number value is read from the random number storage unit 2914, and a jackpot determination process, a symbol determination process, a variation group determination process, a first half variation pattern determination process, a second half variation pattern determination process, and the like are performed as a special lottery. However, even when the first special random number value or the second special random number value is stored in the special random number storage unit 2914, the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first half variation pattern determination process, and the second half are performed as the prior determination process A variation pattern determination process is performed (preliminary determination means).

  Specifically, the special lottery means 230 (preliminary determination means) is used for the special lottery from the random number generating means 210 based on the detection signal input from the first start prize port sensor 106 or the second start prize port sensor 108. When the random number value is acquired, it is stored as the first special random number value in any of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4, or the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved memory. Before storing as a second special random number value in any of the areas 4, depending on the gaming state and the number of holdings at that time, a jackpot determination process as a pre-determination process for the first special random value or the second special random value, Determination processing, variation group determination processing, first-half variation pattern determination processing, second-half variation pattern determination processing, and the like are performed.

  Then, the special lottery means 230 pre-determines the pre-determination results including the results of the jackpot determination process, the symbol determination process, the variation group determination process, the first half variation pattern determination process, and the second half variation pattern determination process as the pre-determination process. Corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value to be processed, one of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area 1 to Store in one of the second special reserved storage areas 4.

  The special display control means 240 is a means for controlling the state display drive device 120 based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and includes a first special symbol display control process, a second special symbol display control process, and a first special hold display control. Processing and second special hold display control processing are performed.

  The first special symbol display control process is a process performed when the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed. The first special symbol display unit until the total variation time of the variation time according to the first half variation pattern determined by the pattern determination processing and the variation time according to the second half variation pattern determination processing has elapsed. After the first special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the seven-segment display of 76, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the seven-segment display of the first special symbol display unit 76 in a predetermined manner.

  In this embodiment, the display mode of the 7-segment display is determined in advance corresponding to each of the 15 types of jackpot symbols, jackpots and loses, and the special display control means 240 performs jackpot or jackpots in the jackpot determination process. The 7-segment display of the first special symbol display unit 76 is displayed in a mode according to whether or not the game is won, and in a mode according to the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process when the jackpot is determined in the jackpot determination process. By lighting, the first special symbol is stopped and displayed, and the result of the special lottery is displayed on the first special symbol display unit 76.

  The second special symbol display control process is a process that is performed when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed. The second special symbol display section until the total variation time of the variation time according to the first half variation pattern determined by the pattern determination processing and the variation time according to the second half variation pattern determination processing has elapsed. After the second special symbol is variably displayed by blinking the 80-segment display of 80, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed by lighting the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 in a predetermined manner.

  And the special display control means 240 is a mode according to whether or not the big hit or the small win is won in the jackpot determining process, and when the big hit is won in the big hit determining process, the big hit symbol determined in the symbol determining process In response to the above, the 7-segment display of the second special symbol display unit 80 is turned on to stop the second special symbol, and the second special symbol display unit 80 displays the result of the special lottery.

  In the first special hold display control process, the special display control means 240 turns on the two lamps of the first special hold display section 78 in accordance with the number of first special random number values stored in the special random number storage means 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 first special reservation numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  In the second special hold display control process, the special display control unit 240 turns on the two lamps of the second special hold display unit 82 according to the number of second special random number values stored in the special random number storage unit 2914. Alternatively, 0 to 4 second special reservation numbers are displayed by a combination of turning off or blinking.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the gaming state transition control means 250 changes the gaming state among the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, and the short-time state through the special gaming state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. A game state transition control process for transition is performed.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and when the big lottery is won in the special lottery in the normal state, the state is shifted to the special game state. In the normal state, as shown in FIG. 3B and the like, for the normal lottery, the winning probability per normal is set to about 13/20, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 2 seconds, The opening time of the object 55 is set to 3 seconds, and the game ball is less likely to enter the second start winning opening 53 than in the probability variation state and the short time state.

  As for the special lottery, the winning probability of the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, and the variation time of the first special symbol becomes a variation time according to the number of holdings, while the variation time of the second special symbol is 591. Since the time is often extremely long, the normal state is a game state in which it is more advantageous for the player to make a left strike so that the game ball enters the first start winning opening 46.

  The special game state is started based on winning the big win in the special lottery in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, and the short-time state, and a special number of rounds (number of executions) determined in advance according to the type of the jackpot symbol It ends when the game is executed.

  Specifically, when the special game state is started based on the fact that any one of 16 round probability variation symbol A to 16 round probability variation symbol K and 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B is won in the special lottery, The special game state ends on condition that a special game of 16 rounds from the 1st round to the 16th round has been executed.

  In addition, when the special game state is started based on the winning of the 2nd round probability variation symbol or the 2nd round normal symbol in the special lottery, it is a condition that the 2nd round special game from the first round to the second round is executed. The special game state ends.

  Probability state is the special game state started based on the winning of either 16 round probability variation symbol A to 16 round probability variation symbol D, 16 round probability variation symbol F to 16 round probability variation symbol K, 2 round probability variation symbol The game is started as a result, and when a big win is won in the special lottery in the probability variation state, the game state is shifted to the special game state. In the probability variation state, as shown in FIG. 3B and the like, for the normal lottery, the winning probability per normal is set to about 19/20, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 0.5 seconds, The opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 5 seconds, and the frequency of the normal accessory 55 being controlled to the open state is higher and the period is longer than in the normal state and the special state. The passing gate 48 is provided so that a game ball falling on the right gaming area 4 of the liquid crystal display 32 passes through the passing gate 48 with high probability as described above. Since the game balls that have passed through the passage gate 48 are provided so as to reach within 5 seconds, in the probability variation state, most of the game balls that fall on the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 are the second start winning opening 53. To enter.

  For the special lottery, the probability of winning the jackpot is set as high as about 1/50, and the variation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is often extremely short, 1 second to 2 seconds. Is in a gaming state in which it is more advantageous for the player to make a right turn so that the game ball enters the second start winning opening 53. In the probability variation state, for the special lottery, the winning probability per winning is set to about 1/2. However, since most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second start winning opening 53, the small winning chance is small. Even if the winning game is executed, the game ball hardly enters the second big prize opening 56.

  In addition, the probability change state is terminated on condition that the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the probability change state has reached a predetermined number of times, and the state is shifted to the special state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the specified number of times is 100 times, 80 times, 60 times, 40 times, 20 times, or 1 time for each of the 16 round probability variation symbols A to 16 round probability variation symbols K and 2 round probability variation symbols. When the special gaming state started based on the winning of each probability variation symbol is completed, the gaming state transition control means 250 has a value (corresponding to the specified number of times corresponding to each probability variation symbol ( For example, 80) is written in the specified number counter 2930 of the main memory 290. Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the probability variation state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game number from the stored value of the specified number counter 2930, and the stored value of the specified number counter 2930 is When a threshold value (for example, 0) is reached, the probability variation state is terminated and the special state is started.

  The special state is started when the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the probability variation state reaches the specified number of times, or when the special game state started based on the fact that the 16-round probability variation symbol E has been won, etc. If a big win is won in a special lottery in a special state, the game is shifted to a special game state. In the special state, as shown in FIG. 3B and the like, in the normal lottery, the normal winning probability is set to about 13/20 as in the normal state, and the variation time of the normal symbol is 2 seconds. And the opening time of the normal accessory 55 is set to 3 seconds, and the frequency of the normal accessory 55 being controlled to the open state is lower than the probability changing state and the short time state, and the period is short. Of the game balls that fall in the game area 4 on the right side, more game balls pass through the right passage 52 without entering the second start winning opening 53. 2. The game ball enters the second start winning opening 53 to such an extent that the special random number value will not disappear.

  And for the special lottery, unlike the normal state, the jackpot winning probability is set as high as about 1/50, and the variation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is extremely short, 1 second to 2 seconds. There are many, and the winning probability for the small hit is set to be extremely high at about 1/2, and since the small hit game is frequently executed, the player has passed the right passage 52 without entering the second start winning opening 53. It is easy for the game ball to enter the second grand prize opening 56. Therefore, the special state is a gaming state in which it is more advantageous for the player to make a right turn so that the game ball enters the second grand prize opening 56.

  In addition, when the special state is started when the number of special lotteries performed in the probability variation state reaches the specified number of times, the number of times that the special lottery was performed in the probability variation state and the special state is set as the probability variation number. If the game is ended on the condition that the predetermined number of times has been reached 10,000, on the other hand, when the special game state is started, the number of times that the special lottery is performed in the special state is determined as The process is terminated on the condition that the predetermined number of times has been reached 10,000, and the process shifts to a normal state. Specifically, the game state transition control unit 250 stores the main memory 290 when the game state is shifted to the probability change state after the special game state ends or when the game state is shifted to the special state after the special game state ends. A value equivalent to 10000 times (for example, 10000) is written in the probability variation counter 2931 as a prescribed number, and each time a special lottery is performed in the probability variation state or special state, it corresponds to one game count from the stored value of the probability variation counter 2931. Decrement update is performed by subtracting the value to be subtracted (for example, 1). When the stored value of the probability variation counter 2931 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the special state is terminated and the normal state is started. However, in the special state, the probability of winning the jackpot in the special lottery is set to about 1/50. Therefore, the special lottery will be won before the number of special lotteries in the probability variation state or the special state reaches 10,000. In most cases, the state is started, and the transition from the special state to the normal state is rare. That is, the special state is continued until the jackpot is actually won.

  The short-time state starts when the special game state started based on the winning of either the 16-round normal symbol A to the 16-round normal symbol B or the 2-round normal symbol is won. If you win the jackpot in the lottery, you will be transferred to a special gaming state. In the short time state, as shown in FIG. 3B and the like, in the normal lottery, the winning probability per normal is set to about 19/20 as in the probability variation state, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 0. 0. Since the opening time of the normal bonus item 55 is set to 5 seconds, most of the game balls falling on the game area 4 on the right side of the liquid crystal display 32 enter the second start winning opening 53. It has become.

  As for the special lottery, although the probability of winning the jackpot is set as low as about 1/315, the variation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is often extremely short, 1 second to 2 seconds. The short-time state is a gaming state in which it is more advantageous for the player to make a right turn so that the game ball enters the second start winning opening 53. In the short-time state, for the special lottery, the winning probability per winning is set to about 1/5. However, since most of the game balls passing through the right passage 52 enter the second start winning port 53, Even if the winning game is executed, the game ball hardly enters the second big prize opening 56.

  The time-short state is terminated on condition that the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the time-short state has reached a predetermined number of times, and the normal state is entered. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the specified number of times is set to 80 times for the 16-round normal symbol A and 60 times for the 16-round normal symbol B, and each normal symbol is won. When the special gaming state started on the basis of is completed, the gaming state transition control means 250 writes a value (for example, 80) corresponding to the prescribed number of times corresponding to each normal symbol to the prescribed number counter 2930. Then, every time a special lottery is performed in the short time state, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game from the stored value of the specified number counter 2930, and the stored value of the specified number counter 2930 is When a threshold value (for example, 0) is reached, the time saving state is terminated and the normal state is started.

  The special game execution means 260 is a means for executing a special game based on the lottery result of the special lottery, and performs special game execution processing 1 to special game execution processing 4 and the like.

  The special game execution process 1 is executed based on the winning of one of the 16 round probability variation symbol A to 16 round probability variation symbol K and the 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B in the special lottery. 260 sets, as an upper limit value of the round counter 2933 of the main memory 290, a value (for example, 16) corresponding to 16 rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds for the 16 round probability variation symbol and the 16 round normal symbol, Each time the first special combination 51 completes the operation in a predetermined manner, an increment update is performed in which a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round is added to the stored value of the round counter 2933. Then, when the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 16), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution processing 1, in the special games of each round from the first round to the sixteenth round, the release timer 2934 of the main memory 290 counts 29 seconds after the first special bonus item 51 is opened. Or, if the first grand prize opening sensor 110 detects the entry of one game ball, the value of the big prize counter 2936 to which a value corresponding to one game ball (for example, 1) is added is the upper limit value. When (for example, 10) is reached, the drive control of the first special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The special game execution process 2 is executed based on the winning of the two-round probability variable symbol or the two-round normal symbol in the special lottery, and the special game execution means 260 uses the two-round probability variable symbol and the two rounds as the upper limit value of the round counter 2933. A value corresponding to two rounds, which is a predetermined number of rounds for a normal symbol (for example, 2) is set, and each time the first special officer 51 completes the operation in a predetermined manner in each round, a round Incremental update is performed by adding a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of rounds for one round to the stored value of the counter 2933. When the stored value of the round counter 2933 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 2), the special gaming state is ended.

  Specifically, in the special game execution process 2, in the special game of each round from the first round to the second round, whether the release timer 2934 counts 29 seconds after the first special bonus item 51 is in the open state, When the value of the big prize number counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), the drive control of the first special accessory driving device 124 is performed so that the first special accessory 51 is closed. Then, “1” is added to the value of the round counter 2933 on the assumption that the condition for ending one round is satisfied.

  The small hit game execution means 262 is a means for executing a small hit game based on the fact that the small hit is won in the special lottery, and performs the small hit game execution process 1 to the small hit game execution process 2 and the like.

  The small hit game execution process 1 is executed based on the fact that the small hit symbol A is won in the special lottery. In the small hit game execution process 1, the small hit game execution means 262 performs a small hit game in one round. When the second special combination 57 is opened with the start of the winning game and 1.8 seconds have passed, the second special combination drive 126 is operated so that the second special combination 57 is closed. Drive control is performed.

  When the second grand prize opening sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value corresponding to one game ball (for example, 1) is added to the value of the big prize counter 2936, and the second special prize counter 2936 is added. When the bonus item 57 completes the operation by the small hit game execution process 1 or the value of the big prize counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), it is assumed that the condition for ending a single small hit game is satisfied. End the small hit game.

  The small hit game execution processing 2 is executed based on the fact that the small hit symbol B is won in the special lottery. In the small hit game execution processing 2, the small hit game execution means 262 is a small hit game in one round. With the start of the winning game, the second special combination driving device 126 is operated so that the second special combination 57 is closed when 5.0 seconds elapses after the second special combination 57 is opened. Drive control is performed.

  When the second grand prize opening sensor 112 detects the entry of one game ball, a value corresponding to one game ball (for example, 1) is added to the value of the big prize counter 2936, and the second special prize counter 2936 is added. When the bonus item 57 completes the operation by the small hit game execution process 2 or the value of the big prize counter 2936 reaches an upper limit value (for example, 10), it is assumed that the condition for ending a single small hit game is satisfied. End the small hit game.

  The payout control means 270 includes a detection signal from the first start prize port sensor 106, a detection signal from the second start prize port sensor 108, a detection signal from the first big prize port sensor 110, and a second big prize port sensor 112. Based on the input of this detection signal, control is performed to cause the payout device 130 to pay out a number of game balls corresponding to a predetermined number of prize balls for each detection signal. Specifically, the payout control means 270 transmits a command that causes the payout device 130 to pay out four game balls each time the first start winning opening sensor 106 detects a winning of one game ball, and the second Each time the start winning opening sensor 108 detects winning of one game ball, a command for paying out one gaming ball to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and the first big winning opening sensor 110 receives one gaming ball. Each time a winning is detected, a command for paying out 15 game balls to the payout device 130 is transmitted, and every time the second big prize opening sensor 112 detects a winning of one game ball, the payout device 130 is detected. Sends a command to pay out 15 game balls.

  The payout device 130 performs an operation of paying out the number of game balls instructed by the payout control means 270. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout motor in a game ball tank in which game balls are stored, and the payout control means 270 controls the rotation angle of the payout motor so as to receive the number of game balls as instructed. Pay out from the game ball tank. The payout device 130 is provided with a payout sensor 116 that operates each time one game ball is paid out. The payout control means 270 actually pays out from the payout device 130 based on a payout signal from the payout sensor 116. The number of played game balls can be managed.

  The communication control unit 280 performs control to transmit various commands generated according to various calculation results in the main board 100 to the sub board 102. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 102 is possible between the main board 100 and the sub board 102, and from the sub board 102 to the main board 100. Communication connection is made so that information cannot be transmitted.

  Next, the sub substrate 102 will be described. The sub board 102 includes an effect control means 300 and a sub memory 310.

  The effect control means 300 provides an effect display based on various commands transmitted from the main board 100, an input signal from the effect button switch 150, and effect data stored in the effect data storage means 3110 of the sub memory 310. The device 170 is controlled to turn on or blink the front frame lamp 12 and the display frame lamp 38, the effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, the effect signal is output from the speaker 14 by controlling the audio device 172, By controlling the effect device 176 such as driving the effect material driving device 174 to operate the effect material, the effect device 176 causes the effect device 176 to execute an effect for exciting the game or assisting the game.

  In particular, the effect data storage means 3110 stores a large number of effect image data for causing the liquid crystal display 32 to display an image, and the effect control means 300 performs one frame (1 / Every 60 seconds, an image is drawn in the frame buffer of the sub memory 310, and the drawn image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, whereby a moving image is reproduced and displayed on the liquid crystal display 32.

  Then, the effect control means 300 performs a state effect process, a special lottery effect process, a hold display effect process, and the like as a process for causing the effect device 176 to execute an effect.

  In the state effect process, the effect control means 300 operates the character image on the liquid crystal display 32 according to the current game state or the background image based on the command according to the game state or counter value on the main board 100. An effect that suggests the current gaming state to the player is executed by changing or changing the effect sound output from the speaker 14.

  For example, when the current gaming state is the special state, the effect control means 300 displays an image indicating that the current gaming state is the special state on the liquid crystal display 32, and the current gaming state is the probability change state or If the time is short, the liquid crystal display 32 displays an image indicating that the current game state is a certain change state or a short time state.

  When the current game state is the special game state, the effect control means 300 indicates on the liquid crystal display 32 that the current game state is the special game state, and the number of rounds of the special game is displayed. A special game state image (special game effect) indicating whether the game is being executed is displayed.

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 performs an effect lottery that temporarily determines the content of the effect of the special lottery effect based on a command corresponding to the result of the prior determination when the pre-determination process is performed on the main board 100. When the special lottery is performed on the main board 100, the effect lottery for finally determining the effect content of the special lottery effect is performed based on a command corresponding to the result of the special lottery. In order to match the change display and stop display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76, or to match the change display and stop display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80, The effect device 176 is caused to execute a lottery effect.

  Specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 displays a background image (not shown) on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. 13A, and the left effect is displayed on the front side of the background image. The symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. Then, each time the special control lottery is performed by reading the first special random number value from the first special reservation storage area 1 and the production control means 300 starts the variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display unit 76. Or every time the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, the second special symbol display unit 80 starts to display the variation of the second special symbol. As shown in (B), after the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are variably displayed, whether or not the jackpot determination process in the first special lottery or the second special lottery is won. If the player wins a jackpot, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect are determined in accordance with the jackpot symbol determined in the symbol determination process. The design pattern 354 is stopped and displayed, and in a manner corresponding to each of the plurality of types of production patterns, the background image is changed on the liquid crystal display 32, or the production video in which the character image is operated is reproduced and displayed. A special lottery effect corresponding to the type of the liquid crystal display 32 is executed. A downward arrow in the figure indicates that each of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 is being displayed at high speed.

  More specifically, in the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 300 generates a random number value for effect lottery based on the input of a command corresponding to the pre-determination result or a command corresponding to the result of the special lottery from the main board 100. As such, a plurality of types of random values such as a first effect pattern determination random value and a second effect pattern determination random value are acquired, and a first effect pattern determination process, a second effect pattern determination process, and the like are performed as an effect lottery.

  In the first effect pattern determination process, based on the acquired first effect pattern determination random value, the first half effect pattern corresponding to the first half part of the special lottery effect is selected from among a plurality of types of first half effect patterns. It is a process to determine. In the first effect pattern determination process, the effect control means 300 performs random number determination processing with reference to any of the plurality of types of first effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 of the sub memory 310. Whether to perform the selection is selected according to the first half variation pattern determined in the first half variation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first effect is stored in the effect lottery table storage means 3112 corresponding to the case where the results of the first half variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 are the first half variation pattern 1 to the first half variation pattern 9, respectively. Nine types of first effect pattern lottery tables of pattern lottery table A to first effect pattern lottery table I are stored (not shown). In each first effect pattern lottery table, one of a plurality of types of first-half effect patterns is associated with each of 100 first effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99. Then, when the result of the first half variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the first effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the first half variation pattern determination process is the first half variation pattern 2. In this case, the first effect pattern lottery table B is selected, and the first effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the first half variation pattern determined in the first half variation pattern determination process is selected.

  Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected first effect pattern lottery table, and determines which one of the first half effect patterns is associated with one first effect pattern determination random value. A first half production pattern is determined from a plurality of types of first half production patterns.

  In the second effect pattern determination process, based on the acquired second effect pattern determination random value, the latter half effect pattern corresponding to the latter half part of the special lottery effect is set to any of a plurality of types of the latter half effect patterns. It is a process to determine. In the second effect pattern determination process, the effect control unit 300 refers to which of the plurality of types of second effect pattern lottery tables stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 3112 to perform the random number determination process. The selection is made according to the latter half fluctuation pattern determined in the latter half fluctuation pattern determination process.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, corresponding to the case where the result of the latter half variation pattern determination process on the main board 100 is each of the variation pattern without reach 1 to variation pattern 3 without reach and the reach variation pattern 1 to reach variation pattern 5. The effect lottery table storage means 3112 stores eight types of second effect pattern lottery tables, a second effect pattern lottery table A to a second effect pattern lottery table H (not shown). In each second effect pattern lottery table, for each of 100 second effect pattern determination random values from 0 to 99, a plurality of types of non-reach effect patterns (unfair winning aspects) and a plurality of types of second-order effect patterns, and One of a plurality of types of reach production patterns (common mode) is associated. Then, when the result of the latter half variation pattern determination process is the reachless variation pattern 1, the effect control means 300 selects the second effect pattern lottery table A, and the result of the latter half variation pattern determination process is the reach variation pattern 1. In some cases, the second effect pattern lottery table D is selected, and the second effect pattern lottery table corresponding to the latter half variation pattern determined in the latter half variation pattern determination process is selected.

  Then, the effect control means 300 refers to the selected second effect pattern lottery table, and associates one second effect pattern determination random value with any of a plurality of types of reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns. By determining whether or not it is performed, one non-reach effect pattern or one reach effect pattern is determined from a plurality of types of reach effect patterns and a plurality of types of reach effect patterns.

  Here, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of first half production patterns, and the production time of the first half production pattern that can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table A is the variation time of the first half variation pattern 1. The production time of the first half production pattern that is set to the same 3 seconds and can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table B is set to 5 seconds that is the same as the fluctuation time of the first half variation pattern 2, and so on. The production time of the first half production pattern that can be determined by the first production pattern lottery table is set to be the same as the variation time of the first half variation pattern corresponding to each first production pattern lottery table.

  In addition, the production time is set for each of the plurality of types of reachless production patterns and the plurality of types of reach production patterns, and the production times of the plurality of types of reachless production patterns that can be determined by the second production pattern lottery table A are as follows. These are all set to 1 second, which is the same as the variation time of the no reach variation pattern 1, and the production times of the plurality of types of reach production patterns that can be determined by the second production pattern lottery table E are all the variations of the reach variation pattern 1. It is set to 20 seconds that is the same as the time, etc. The production time of the plurality of types of reachless production patterns or the plurality of types of reach production patterns that can be determined by each second production pattern lottery table is the second production pattern lottery. Of reach variation pattern or reach variation pattern corresponding to the table It is set to be the same as the dynamic time.

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control unit 300 performs the special lottery effect in accordance with the start of the variable display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80. In the total production time of the production time according to the first half production pattern determined by the first production pattern determination process and the production time according to the latter half production pattern decided by the second production pattern determination process The special lottery effect is executed. As a result, the variation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 and the effect time of the special lottery effect are synchronized.

  For example, when the jackpot determination process results in a loss, and the second effect pattern determination process determines a reachless effect pattern, the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display in the first special symbol display unit 76 is performed. With the start of the variable display of the second special symbol in the section 80, as shown in FIG. 13B, the variable effect display of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 is started. As shown in C), first, the left effect design 350 is displayed as a temporary stop so as to slightly swing without being completely stopped in any of the modes (the mode indicating “5” in FIG. 13C). As shown in FIG. 13D, the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (non-reach mode) different from the left performance design 350.

  Then, before the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. Temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (losing mode) different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354, and the first special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 76 or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display unit 80 is stopped. At substantially the same timing as the display, as shown in FIG. 13 (F), the middle effect symbol 352 is completely stopped in a mode (losing mode) different from the left effect symbol 350 and the right effect symbol 354. The fixed stop is displayed.

  In addition, for example, when the jackpot determination process is won or the jackpot determination process is lost, and the reach effect pattern is determined by the second effect pattern determination process, the first special symbol As the first special symbol on the display unit 76 or the second special symbol on the second special symbol display unit 80 starts to be changed, as shown in FIG. 14A, the left effect symbol 350, the medium effect symbol 352, and The variation display of the right effect design 354 is started, and as shown in FIG. 14 (B), the left effect design 350 is first temporarily stopped, and then, as shown in FIG. 14 (C), the medium effect design 352 is varied. While being displayed, the right effect design 354 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same mode (reach mode) as the left effect design 350. Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), the reproduction display of the effect movie corresponding to the determined reach effect pattern is started, and the first special symbol display unit 80 or the second special symbol display unit 80 in the first special symbol display unit 76 is started. The replay display of the effect animation is finished within the fluctuation time of the second special symbol.

  Specifically, in the example of FIG. 14D, an effect video in which the hero character A fights the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and this effect video is reproduced and displayed. In this case, instead of the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 displayed at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the left effect symbol 350 corresponds to the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. The reduced left effect symbol 360 corresponding to the reduced left effect symbol 362 corresponding to the reduced left effect symbol 360, the reduced effect symbol 362 corresponding to the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed. In other words, as shown in FIG. 14D, the reduced left effect symbol 360 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are temporarily displayed in the same mode (reach mode) while the reduced effect symbol 362 is variably displayed.

  If the jackpot is won, an effect video in which the main character A wins the enemy character B is reproduced and displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduced effect design 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in the same manner (big win mode) as the reduced left effect design 360 and the reduced right effect design 364, so that the big win is won. Is temporarily notified to the player.

  Then, the effect video in which the hero character A wins the enemy character B is finished, and as shown in FIG. 14 (F), the left effect symbol 350 displayed in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, and the medium effect. After the symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 14G, the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352 and the right effect symbol 354 are confirmed and stopped at the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. In addition to being displayed, a sound effect for notifying the player that the jackpot has been won is output from the speaker 14, thereby notifying the player that the jackpot has been won.

  On the other hand, if the jackpot is not won, an effect video in which the main character A is defeated by the enemy character B is played in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. In the upper right of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32, the reduction effect design 362 is temporarily stopped and displayed in a mode (reach loss mode) different from the reduction left design design 360 and the reduction right design design 364, resulting in a loss. The player is temporarily notified.

  Then, the video in which the hero character A is defeated by the enemy character B is finished, and as shown in FIG. 14 (I), the left effect symbol 350 and the medium effect symbol displayed temporarily stopped in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. After the display of 352 and the right effect design 354, as shown in FIG. 14 (J), the left effect design 350, the middle effect design 352 and the right effect design 354 are displayed in a fixed stop manner in the center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. As a result, the player is definitely notified of the loss.

  Here, in the special lottery effect process, since a common effect video may be reproduced and displayed in both cases of winning a win and losing, when a common effect video is reproduced and displayed. This can greatly increase the player's expectation for winning the jackpot.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the left effect symbol 350, the medium effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 with the effect pattern corresponding to the variation type of the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the state display device 70. Displaying the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 temporarily in a manner corresponding to the result of the special lottery while increasing the player's expectation for winning the jackpot by changing the display. Then, the result of the special lottery is notified to the player by displaying the fixed stop.

  In the hold display effect process, the effect control means 300 is held in the special random number storage means 2914 of the main memory 290 based on a command corresponding to the first special hold number or the second special hold number in the main board 100. An image indicating the status of the first special random value or the second special random value is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15A, the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 or the second special reserved storage area 4 of the special random number storage unit 2914 are displayed below the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. Corresponding to the special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, four reserved display areas (display areas) of a first reserved display area 411 to a fourth reserved display area 414 are provided. In the area, as shown in FIG. 15A, a first reserved image 420 indicating in which of the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 the first special random number value is stored, Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 15B, the second reserved image 422 indicating which of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 stores the second special random number value can be displayed. It has become.

  Specifically, the effect control means 300 is a case where the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1, when the first special random number value is stored, the first hold image 420 is displayed in the first hold display area 411, and the first special hold storage area 1 and the first special hold storage area 2 are respectively displayed. When the first special random number value is held, the first hold image 420 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 and the second hold display area 412, and so on. If the second special random number value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage areas 4, the first special disorder reserved in the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 4 1st hold display according to the number of numerical values In each of the band 411 to the fourth hold display area 414 displays the first hold image 420. In the example of FIG. 15A, the second special random storage value is not stored in any of the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4, and the first special reserved storage area 1 to the first special reserved storage area 1 to first. Since the first special random number value is held in each of the special hold storage areas 3, the first hold image 420 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 to the third hold display area 413.

  In addition, the production control means 300 is stored in the second special reservation storage area 1 regardless of whether the first special reservation storage area 1 to the first special reservation storage area 4 stores the first special random number value. When the second special random number value is held, the second hold image 422 is displayed in the first hold display area 411, and the second special hold storage area 1 and the second special hold storage area 2 are displayed in the second hold. When the special random number value is held, the second hold image 422 is displayed in each of the first hold display area 411 and the second hold display area 412, and so on. When the second special random number value is stored in any one of the two special reserved storage areas 4, the second special random value stored in the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 Depending on the number, the first hold display area 4 1 respectively displaying the second hold image 422 of the fourth hold display area 414. In the example of FIG. 15B, the second special random number value is held in each of the second special hold storage area 1 to the second special hold storage area 2, thereby causing the first hold display area 411 to the second hold. A second reserved image 422 is displayed in each of the display areas 412.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first special reserved storage area or the second special reserved storage of the special random number storage unit 2914 is placed in the left part of the first reserved display area 411 in the lower part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. One hold display area 430 is provided corresponding to the area, and the first special random number value is read from the first special hold storage area 1 in the hold display area 430 and the first special hold is stored. When stored in the storage area, the first reserved image 420 is displayed, and when the second special random number value is read from the second special reserved storage area 1 and stored in the second special reserved storage area. A second reserved image 422 is displayed.

  For example, in the state shown in FIG. 15A, the first special random number value is read from the first special reserved storage area 1 and the special lottery is performed, and the first special random number value is stored in the first special reserved storage area. Then, the effect control means 300 moves the first reserved image 420 displayed in the first hold display area 411 to the hold display area 430 and the left effect design 350 as shown in FIG. Then, the variable display of the middle effect design 352 and the right effect design 354 is started, and the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412 has one ordinal number from the original hold display area. Display control to move to a small hold display area. As a result, the first hold image 420 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the first special random number that is the target of the current special lottery, and is displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 420 corresponds to the first special random number value that is the subject of the next special lottery.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 15D, when the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are displayed in a definite stop state and the result of the current special lottery is displayed, the first special reserved storage area is displayed. As the stored first special random number is deleted, the first reserved image 420 displayed in the reserved display area 430 is deleted. When the first special random number value is further read out from the first special hold storage area 1 and a special lottery is performed, the effect control means 300, although not shown, displays the first hold displayed in the first hold display area 411. The image 420 is moved to the hold display area 430 and the left effect design 350, the medium effect design 352, and the right effect design 354 are started to be displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed in which the first hold image 420 is moved from the original hold display area to the hold display area whose ordinal number is one smaller.

  Although not shown, the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 4 hold a plurality of second special random number values in the second special reservation storage area 1 to the second special reservation storage area 1. When the special lottery is performed by reading the numerical value and the second special random number value is stored in the second special reserved storage area, the effect control means 300 displays the second reserved image displayed in the first reserved display area 411. 422 is moved to the hold display area 430, and the left effect symbol 350, the middle effect symbol 352, and the right effect symbol 354 are started to be displayed in the hold display area after the second hold display area 412. Display control is performed to move the 2-hold image 422 from the original hold-display area to the hold-display area whose ordinal number is one smaller. As a result, the second hold image 422 displayed in the hold display area 430 corresponds to the second special random number value that is the target of the current special lottery and is displayed after the first hold display area 411. It can be shown that the image 422 corresponds to the second special random number value to be subjected to the special lottery after the next time.

  Further, the production control means 300 obtains the first special random value after the first special random value or the second special random value is acquired according to the pre-determined result corresponding to the first special random value or the second special random value. The first special random number or the second special random value is obtained until the first special symbol or the second special random symbol is displayed, or after the first special random number or the second special random number is acquired. Producing a pre-reading effect until the first special symbol or the second special random value is obtained before the numerical display of the first special symbol or the second special random value is finished. 176 to execute. In the present embodiment, as the pre-reading effect, for example, the color or shape of the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422 corresponding to the first special random number value or the second special random number value for which execution of the pre-reading effect is determined is used. Change, display an effect image around the first reserved image 420 or the second reserved image 422, display an object image such as a character image, or display a special background image different from a normal background image Or In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state or the penalty state, the pre-reading effect is not performed for the second special random number value, and when the gaming state is the probability variation state, the special state, or the time saving state, The pre-reading effect is not performed for the first special random number value.

  Here, the production control means 300 is a case where the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determined result corresponding to the first special random value or the second special random value is the one that won the jackpot or is lost In such a case, only when the special lottery effect is performed in the reach effect pattern, the pre-read effect is performed for the first special random value or the second special random value.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, in each of the fluctuation group lottery table A to the fluctuation group lottery table G shown in FIG. 7, 90 fluctuations of 0 to 89 out of 0 to 99 fluctuation group determination random number values. Each of the group-determined random values is associated with any of group 0 to group 7 excluding group 4 and group 5, and for each of the eight variable group-determined random values of 90 to 97, Since group 4 is associated and each of the two variable group determined random values from 98 to 99 is associated with group 5, the variable group determined random value is one of 0 to 89. In some cases, there is a case where a reachless variation pattern is determined or a reach variation pattern is determined depending on the number of holds or the game state. If the constant random number is either 90 to 99, regardless of the number of holding or gaming state is always determined reach varying patterns, so that the never without reach varying pattern is determined.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special lottery means 230 is a case where the jackpot determination process performed as the pre-determination process is lost, and the fluctuation group determination disorder included in the first special random value or the second special random value is determined. When the numerical value is any of 0 to 89, indefinite value information indicating that the reach variation pattern is determined to be indefinite is set as a prior determination result, and is any of 90 to 99 The fixed value information indicating that the reach variation pattern is always determined is set as the prior determination result.

  Then, if the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determination result is that the jackpot is won, the effect control means 300 determines whether or not the prefetch effect can be executed for the first special random value or the second special random value. When the pre-reading effect lottery to be decided is performed, but the jackpot is not won, it is determined whether or not the fixed value information is included in the prior determination result, and the fixed value information is included In addition, a pre-reading effect lottery is performed.

  Thereby, in this embodiment, when the preliminary determination process is performed for the first special random value or the second special random value, and when the special lottery is performed for the same first special random value or the second special random value, Even if the number of holds is changed, if the special lottery is performed for the first special random value or the second special random value for which the execution of the pre-reading effect is determined, it is a case where the jackpot is won or the game is lost. However, the special lottery effect can be executed in the reach effect pattern.

  And when the production | control control means 300 determines execution of a prefetch production | presentation by the prefetch production lottery about the 1st special random number value, the 1st said special reservation storage area and the 1st special reservation storage area 1st-1st special reservation Among the first special random numbers that are reserved in the storage area 4 and that are acquired before the first special random values that are determined to be prefetched, The result of the jackpot determination process included is the first special random value that is won by the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-determination result is lost, but fixed value information is included in the pre-determination result When the first special random number value included does not exist, the prefetch effect is started assuming that the start condition of the prefetch effect is satisfied.

  In addition, when execution of the prefetch effect is determined in the prefetch effect lottery for the second special random number value, the second special random storage value and the second special reserved storage area and the second special reserved storage area 1 to the second special reserved storage area 4 are reserved. Of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result among the second special random values obtained before the second special random value obtained before execution of the pre-reading effect. The second special random number value that is the result of winning the jackpot, or the result of the jackpot determination process included in the pre-judgment result is lost, but the pre-judgment result includes the fixed value information. When the special random number value does not exist, the prefetch effect is started assuming that the start condition of the prefetch effect is satisfied.

  As a result, in this embodiment, when the execution of the pre-reading effect is determined for the first special random value or the second special random value, the winning of the jackpot for the first special random value or the second special random value that has already been put on hold is determined. If the special lottery effect is executed in the reach effect pattern, or if the special lottery effect is determined to be executed in the reach effect pattern, it is executed with the determined jackpot The pre-reading effect may be started after the special game state is completed or after the special lottery effect by the reach effect pattern that is being executed or has been confirmed to be executed is ended. it can.

3. Control Method of this Embodiment Hereinafter, the control method of this embodiment will be described in detail. FIG. 16A shows that the 16 round probability variation symbol A to 16 round probability variation symbol E and the 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B that can be won in the special lottery for the first special random number value are in the normal state. It is a figure which shows the regulation number determination table A for determining the regulation number after completion | finish of a special game state, when winning in each of a probability change state, a special state, and a time-short state.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (A), in the specified number of times determination table A, the 16-round probability variation pattern A has a specified number of times regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the short-time state. Determined 80 times.

  In addition, for 16-round probability variation symbol B, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the short time state. The

  In addition, for the 16-round probability variation symbol C, the prescribed number of times of probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 40 times regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the short time state. The

  In addition, for 16-round probability variation symbol D, the specified number of times of probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 20 times regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the short time state. The

  In addition, for 16 round probability variation symbol E, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, and the short-time state, it is shifted to the special state after the special gaming state is finished, so the prescribed number of times is determined. Not.

  In addition, for the 16-round normal symbol A, the prescribed number of time-saving states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 80 times, regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time-saving state. The

  In addition, for the 16-round normal symbol B, the prescribed number of short-time states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether the winning state is a normal state, a probability variation state, a special state, or a short-time state. The

  FIG. 16B shows a 16-round probability variation symbol E to a 16-round probability variation symbol K, a 2-round probability variation symbol, a 16-round normal symbol A to a 16-round normal symbol B, 2 that can be won in the special lottery for the second special random number value. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a prescribed number determination table B for determining a prescribed number of times after the end of the special gaming state when each of the round normal symbols is won in each of a normal state, a probability variation state, a special state, and a short-time state. .

  As shown in FIG. 16 (B), in the specified number of times determination table B, when the 16 round probability variation symbol F is won in the normal state, the probability variation state or the short time state, the probability variation state after the end of the special game state is displayed. When the specified number of times is determined to be 100 times and the player is elected in the special state, the specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

  Also, for the 16-round probability variation symbol G, when the winning is in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and when winning in the probability variation state or the short time state, The prescribed number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 80 times. When winning in the special state, the prescribed number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 60 times.

  Also, for 16-round probability variation symbol H, when winning in the normal state, the specified number of times of probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and when winning in the probability variation state, special state or short time state The predetermined number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special game state is determined to be 60 times.

  In addition, for the 16-round probability variation symbol I, when winning in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and when winning in the probability variation state or the short time state, The specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 40 times. However, when winning in the special state, the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special gaming state, so the specified number of times is not determined.

  In addition, for the 16 round probability variation symbol J, when winning in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and when winning in the probability variation state or the short time state, The specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 20. However, when winning in the special state, the specified number of times is not determined because the special state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special gaming state.

  Also, for the 16 round probability variation symbol K, when winning in the normal state, the specified number of probability variation states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 100 times, and when winning in the probability variation state or the short time state, The specified number of times of the probability change state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 1. However, when winning in the special state, the state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special gaming state, so the specified number of times is not determined.

  In addition, for 16 round probability variation symbol E, even if it is won in any of the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, and the short-time state, it is shifted to the special state after the special gaming state is finished, so the prescribed number of times is determined. Not.

  In addition, for the 2-round probability variation symbol, the prescribed number of times of probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the short-time state. .

  In addition, for the 16-round normal symbol A, the prescribed number of time-saving states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 80 times, regardless of whether it is won in the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, or the time-saving state. The

  In addition, for the 16-round normal symbol B, the prescribed number of short-time states after the end of the special gaming state is determined to be 60 times regardless of whether the winning state is a normal state, a probability variation state, a special state, or a short-time state. The

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the gaming state is shifted between the normal state, the probability variation state, the special state, and the time saving state through the special gaming state. Since the normal state that is the initial state is a gaming state that should be left-handed as described above, a special lottery is basically performed for the first special random number value in the normal state. When winning and one of the 16 round probability variation symbols A to 16 round probability variation symbols D is won, the game is shifted to the probability variation state after the end of the special gaming state. In this case, the prescribed number determination table A shown in FIG. 16A is referred to, and the prescribed number of times when one of the 16 round probability variation symbols A to 16 round probability variation symbol D is won in the normal state is 80. Times, 60 times, 40 times, or 20 times are set as the prescribed number of times of the probability variation state.

  The probability variation state is a gaming state in which a right-handed strike should be made as described above, and unlike the normal state, a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value, and the jackpot is not won in the probability variation state. When the number of times the special lottery has been performed reaches the specified number corresponding to each probability variation symbol, the special state is entered.

  On the other hand, if the jackpot is won in the normal state and any of the 16-round normal symbol A to the 16-round normal symbol B is won, the state is shifted to the short-time state after the special game state ends. In this case, the prescribed number determination table A shown in FIG. 16A is referred to, and the prescribed number of times when any of the 16 round normal symbols A to 16 round normal symbols B is won in the normal state is 80. Times or 60 times is set as the specified number of times in the short-time state.

  The short-time state is a gaming state that should be right-handed as described above, and a special lottery is basically performed for the second special random number value in the same manner as the probability variation state, and the jackpot is not won in the short-time state. When the number of times the special lottery is performed reaches the specified number corresponding to each normal symbol, the normal state is entered.

  As described above, the special state is a gaming state that should be right-handed, and basically a special lottery is performed for the second special random number value in the same manner as the probability variation state and the short-time state, and small hit games are frequently performed. The second prize winning opening is executed because the ordinary accessory 55 is less frequently controlled to be in the open state and the period in which the ordinary accessory 55 is controlled to be in the open state is shorter than that in the probability variation state and the short-time state. Since it is easy for a game ball to enter 56, it is possible to acquire more game balls by a small hit game as the small hit is won instead of the big win.

  In the special state, if the jackpot is won in the special state and any one of the 16 round probability variation symbol E and the 16 round probability variation symbol I to 16 round probability variation symbol K is elected, the special state is again entered after the special gaming state ends. The

  On the other hand, if the jackpot is won in the special state and any of the 16 round probability variation symbol F to the 16 round probability variation symbol H and the two round probability variation symbol is elected, the transition is made to the probability variation state after the special gaming state is ended. In this case, the specified number of times determination table B shown in FIG. 16B is referred to, and in the special state, when either of the 16 round probability variation symbol F to the 16 round probability variation symbol H or the two round probability variation symbol is won. The specified number of times of 60 is set as the specified number of times of the probability variation state.

  Further, when the jackpot is won in the special state and any of the 16 round normal symbol A to the 16 round normal symbol B and the 2 round normal symbol is won, the state is shifted to the short time state after the special gaming state is ended. In this case, the specified number of times determination table B shown in FIG. 16B is referred to, and in the special state, when either of the 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B or the 2 round normal symbol is won. The specified number of times of 80 or 60 is set as the specified number of times in the short-time state.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the special state and the special game state are repeated as long as any of the 16 round probability variation symbol E and the 16 round probability variation symbol I to the 16 round probability variation symbol K is won in the special state. A lot of game balls can be acquired by a special game in a special game state by a winning game.

  In this embodiment, the special state and the special game state immediately after that are counted as the number of times that the specific game section is repeated as one specific game section, and the small hit game in the special state of each specific game section is counted. The number of game balls paid out when the game balls entered the second big prize opening 56 and the special balls in the special game state were paid out when the game balls entered the first big prize opening 50. The number of game balls is counted as acquisition points, and the acquisition points of each specific game section that is continuous with the number of consecutive specific game sections are displayed on the liquid crystal display 32.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 in the specific game section. First, in the present embodiment, in the probability variation state, the number of times that the special lottery is performed without winning the jackpot is shifted to the special state, or the 16 round probability variation symbol E is elected in the normal state or the short time state. When the special game state started on the basis of the completion of the transition to the special state is completed, it is determined that the start condition of the first specific game section is satisfied, and the continuous number counter of the sub memory 310 shown in FIG. In 3116, a value corresponding to one time (for example, 1) is written as the number of consecutive times of the specific game section, and 0 is an initial value as an acquisition point of one specific game section in the acquisition point counter 3118 of the sub memory 310. Value (for example, 0) is written, and the acquisition history storage means 3120 of the sub memory 310 stores each successive specific game section. A value (for example, 0) corresponding to 0, which is an initial value, is written as a score point, and the initial value is 0, which is the total of the acquired points for each successive specific game section, in the total acquisition point counter 3122 of the sub memory 310. A value (for example, 0) corresponding to is written.

  Then, based on the stored value of the continuous number counter 3116 and the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118, the special state of the first specific game section is started on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. The acquired image is displayed, and the acquired point display 500 indicating the acquired points of each specific game section is displayed in a state where the acquired points indicate 0 which is an initial value.

  In the first special game section special state, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the special lottery is performed while the special state effect image is displayed, the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 is reduced in the upper right part. When the left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are variably displayed, and when the small hit is won and the small hit game is executed, the game ball is placed in the second big winning opening 56 in the small hit game. Each time a game ball is paid out by entering, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is updated, and the acquisition point indicated by the acquisition point display 500 is updated.

  When the jackpot is won in the special state of the first specific gaming section, as shown in FIG. 17C, an image indicating that the jackpot is won is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, and the gaming state shifts to the special gaming state. Then, as shown in FIG. 17D, an image indicating that the special gaming state is started is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, and the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is maintained. The acquired points display 500 is displayed in a state where the updated acquired points are maintained in the special state of the first specific game section shown in FIG.

  Then, when the special game of the first round is executed, as shown in FIG. 17 (E), the game ball enters the first big prize opening 50 in the special game while displaying the effect image of the special game. Each time a game ball is paid out, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is updated, and the acquisition point indicated by the acquisition point display 500 is updated. That is, in this embodiment, the acquisition point counter 3118 is updated through the special state and the special game state of the first specific game section, so that the acquisition point display 500 acquires the special state of the first specific game section. The total of points and points acquired in the special game state of the first specific game section are displayed.

  When the execution of the special game of all rounds according to the jackpot symbol is completed, an image indicating that the special game state is finished is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. Based on the stored value of the point counter 3118, the acquired points of the first specific game section are displayed.

  And in this embodiment, in the special state of the 1st specific game area, since either of 16 round probability variation design E and 16 round probability variation design I-16 round probability variation design K was elected, the 1st specific game When the game state is shifted to the special state after the special game state of the section is finished, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is stored in the acquisition history storage means 3120 as the acquisition point of the first specific game section.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, ten acquisition points from the first acquisition point storage area to the tenth acquisition point storage area are stored in the acquisition history storage means 3120 so that the acquisition points for the ten specific game sections can be stored. The storage value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is stored in the acquisition point storage area having the smallest ordinal number among the acquisition point storage areas in which the storage area is provided and the acquisition points are not stored. Here, in the present embodiment, when the storage value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is stored in the acquisition history storage means 3120, acquisition points are stored in each of the first acquisition point storage area to the tenth acquisition point storage area. In this case, the stored values of the first acquired point storage area to the tenth acquired point storage area are reset to 0, and then the stored value of the acquired point counter 3118 is stored in the first acquired point storage area having the smallest ordinal number. Stored.

  For example, when the game state is shifted to the special state after the end of the special game state of the eleventh specific game section and the twelfth specific game section is started, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is the eleventh specific game. The acquired points are stored in the acquisition history storage means 3120 as the acquired points of the section. In this case, the acquired points of the specific game section from the first to the tenth time are stored in the first acquired point storage area to the tenth acquired point storage area. Therefore, after the stored values of the first acquired point storage area to the tenth acquired point storage area are reset to 0, the stored value of the acquired point counter 3118 is stored in the first acquired point storage area having the smallest ordinal number. Stored as acquired points for the 11th specific game section. In other words, in the present embodiment, the acquisition history storage means 3120 stores the acquisition points of the latest 10 specific game sections at most in the specific game sections of each time until the previous time.

  In this way, the stored value of the acquired point counter 3118 is stored in the acquired history storage means 3120 as acquired points of the first specific game section, and further acquired when the stored value of the acquired point counter 3118 is added to the total acquired point counter 3122. The stored value of the point counter 3118 is reset to 0 which is an initial value, and the stored value of the continuous number counter 3116 is updated to 2 corresponding to 2 times. Then, as shown in FIG. 17 (G), an image indicating that the special state of the second specific game section is started is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, and the acquisition point indicates an initial value of 0. The earned point display 500 is displayed.

  Even in the special state of the second specific game section, as shown in FIG. 17H, when the special lottery is performed while the effect image in the special state is displayed, the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 is reduced in the upper right part. When the left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are variably displayed, and when the small hit is won and the small hit game is executed, the game ball is placed in the second big winning opening 56 in the small hit game. Each time a game ball is paid out by entering, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is updated, and the acquisition point indicated by the acquisition point display 500 is updated.

  Although not shown, when the special game state is started based on the fact that the big win is won in the special state of the second specific game section, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is maintained, so that the second time The acquisition point display 500 is displayed in a state where the updated acquisition points are maintained in the special state of the specific game section, and the game is played in the first big prize opening 50 in the special game of each round in the special game state of the second specific game section. Each time a game ball is paid out by entering the ball, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is updated, and the acquisition point indicated by the acquisition point display 500 is updated. When the execution of the special game of all rounds in the special game state of the second specific game section is completed, an image indicating that the special game state is ended is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, and the acquisition point counter 3118 is stored. Based on the value, the acquired points of the second specific game section are displayed.

  Even in the special state of the second specific game section, the special game of the second specific game section is selected because either the 16-round probability variation symbol E or the 16-round probability variation symbol I to the 16-round probability variation symbol K is won. When the gaming state is shifted to the special state after the state is finished, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is stored in the acquisition history storage means 3120 as the acquisition point of the second specific game section, and the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is When added to the total acquired point counter 3122, the stored value of the acquired point counter 3118 is reset to 0, which is the initial value, and the stored value of the continuous number counter 3116 is updated to 3, which corresponds to 3 times. An image showing that the special state of the third specific game section is started is displayed, The resulting point is displayed acquired point display 500 in a state indicating 0 is an initial value.

  In this embodiment, for example, in the special state of the third specific game section, even if either of the 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B or the 2 round normal symbol is won, the third specific When the execution of the special game of all rounds in the special game state of the game section is completed, an image indicating that the special game state is ended is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. Based on the stored value of the point counter 3118, the acquired points of the third specific game section are displayed. In this case, after the special game state of the third specific game section ends, the game state shifts to the short-time state. The stored value of the acquisition history storage means 3120, the stored value of the total acquired point counter 3122, and the storage of the continuous number counter 3116 Is maintained without being updated, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is also maintained without being reset, and an image indicating that the time-short state is started is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. However, the earned point display 500 is not displayed.

  In the time reduction state, as shown in FIG. 18C, an effect image indicating the time reduction state is displayed, but the earned point display 500 is not displayed. When a special lottery is performed, the display on the liquid crystal display 32 is performed. In the upper right part of the area, the reduced left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are variably displayed. When the jackpot is won before the number of special lotteries performed in the short-time state reaches the specified number, an image indicating that the jackpot is won is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. When the state is shifted to the special game state, an image indicating that the special game state is started is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. Based on the stored value, the earned point display 500 is displayed in a state where the earned points updated until the shift to the short time state shown in FIG.

  Then, when the special game of the first round is executed, as shown in FIG. 18 (F), the game ball enters the first big prize opening 50 in the special game while displaying the effect image of the special game. Each time a game ball is paid out, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is updated, and the acquisition point indicated by the acquisition point display 500 is updated. That is, in the present embodiment, for example, in the special state of the third specific game section, either the 16 round normal symbol A to the 16 round normal symbol B or the 2 round normal symbol is won, and the time-short state after the special game state ends. When the jackpot is won in, the special game state acquisition points started based on the winning of the jackpot in the short-time state are added as acquisition points for the third specific game section. Therefore, in this case, the winning point display 500 shows that the jackpot is won in the short-time state in addition to the special state acquisition point of the third specific game section and the special game state acquisition point of the third specific game section. The total number of points acquired in the special gaming state started based on the is displayed.

  When the execution of the special game of all rounds according to the jackpot symbol is completed, an image indicating that the special game state is ended is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. Based on the stored value of the point counter 3118, the acquired points of the third specific game section are displayed again. That is, the acquisition point obtained by adding the acquisition points of the special game state started based on the winning of the jackpot in the short time state to the acquisition points of the third specific game section shown in FIG. Re-displayed as earned points for a specific game segment.

  In the short-time state, the game state is special after the end of the special game state of the third specific game section because any one of the 16 round probability variation symbol E and the 16 round probability variation symbol I to the 16 round probability variation symbol K is won. When the state is shifted, the stored value of the acquired point counter 3118 is stored in the acquired history storage means 3120 as the acquired point of the third specific game section, and the stored value of the acquired point counter 3118 is added to the total acquired point counter 3122. Then, the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is reset to 0 which is an initial value, and the stored value of the continuous number counter 3116 is updated to 4 corresponding to 4 times, as shown in FIG. An image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 indicating that the special state of the fourth specific game section is started. Together, acquired points are displayed acquired point display 500 in a state indicating 0 is an initial value.

  On the other hand, when one of the 16 round normal symbol A to the 16 round normal symbol B and the 2 round normal symbol is won in the short time state, when the gaming state is shifted to the short time state again after the special gaming state, The storage value of the acquisition history storage means 3120, the storage value of the total acquisition point counter 3122, and the storage value of the continuous number counter 3116 are maintained without being updated, and the storage value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is also maintained without being reset. Although an image indicating that the time saving state is started is displayed on the display 32, the acquired point display 500 is not displayed. When the jackpot is won again in the short time state, an image indicating that the jackpot is won is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. When the gaming state is shifted to the special gaming state, the special gaming state is started on the liquid crystal display 32. Is displayed, and based on the stored value of the acquired acquisition point counter 3118, the updated acquisition points are maintained until the current time saving state shown in FIG. Then, the earned point display 500 is displayed.

  That is, in this embodiment, when either of the 16 round normal symbol A to 16 round normal symbol B or the 2 round normal symbol is won in the special state, the gaming state is shifted to the short time state after the special gaming state ends. On the other hand, the stored values of the continuous number counter 3116, the acquisition point counter 3118, the acquisition history storage means 3120, and the total acquisition point counter 3122 are maintained, and if the jackpot is won in the short-time state, the jackpot is won in the short-time state The acquisition point counter 3118 is restarted so that the acquisition points of the special game state started in this way are added to the acquisition points of the specific game section immediately before the transition to the short-time state.

  In this embodiment, when the gaming state is shifted to the normal state when the number of times that the special lottery is performed without winning the jackpot in the short time state reaches the specified number, the continuous number counter 3116, the acquisition point counter The storage values of 3118, acquisition history storage means 3120 and total acquisition point counter 3122 are reset to initial values.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the start condition of the first specific game section is satisfied, any one of the 16 round probability variation symbol E and the 16 round probability variation symbol I to the 16 round probability variation symbol K is won in the special state. Each time a transition is made to a special state after the end of the special game state, a new specific game section is started. In each specific game section, the number of consecutive times of the specific game section is counted by the continuous number counter 3116, and the acquisition points The acquisition points of each specific game section are counted by the counter 3118, and the acquired history storage means 3120 stores the acquisition points of up to 10 specific game sections of each specific game section up to the previous time, and the total acquisition point counter 3122, the total points earned for each specific game segment from the first to the previous time It is theft. In the present embodiment, when the special game state is shifted to the short-time state after either of the 16 round normal symbol A to the 16 round normal symbol B or the two round normal symbol is won in the special state, Is interrupted, and the stored values of the continuous number counter 3116, the acquired point counter 3118, the acquired history storage means 3120 and the total acquired point counter 3122 are maintained. When the jackpot is won in the short-time state and the game is shifted to the special game state, the specific game section is resumed and the update of the acquisition point counter 3118 is resumed. , The stored values of the continuous number counter 3116, the acquired point counter 3118, the acquired history storage means 3120, and the total acquired point counter 3122 are reset to initial values.

  In the present embodiment, in the special state and the special game state in the second and subsequent specific game sections, the latest maximum up to the previous time is determined based on the stored value of the continuous number counter 3116 and the stored value of the acquisition history storage means 3120. The acquisition history that is the history of the acquisition points of the 10 specific game sections and the continuous number of the specific game sections can be displayed, and from the first to the previous time based on the stored value of the total acquisition point counter 3122 The total points acquired up to the previous time, which is the total of the points acquired in each specific game section, can be displayed, and each time the player performs an operation of pressing the effect button 26, the acquisition history and the number of consecutive times are also displayed up to the previous time. Non-display state in which the total acquisition points are not displayed, the first display state in which the acquisition history and the number of consecutive times are displayed, and the second table in which the total acquisition points up to the previous time are displayed Acquisition display state between the state is adapted to is switched.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, for example, in the special state of the second specific game section, as shown in FIG. 19A, the special state effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 as described above, and reduced. The left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are variably displayed, and the acquisition points updated in the current specific game section are displayed on the acquisition point display 500, but the acquisition display state is the initial state In the non-display state, in the non-display state, the first operation indicating that the acquisition history and the continuous number of times are displayed when the operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed in the upper left part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. A display 502 is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, when an operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed in the non-display state, the acquisition display state is set to the first display state, and in the first display state, as illustrated in FIG. The effect image in the special state is displayed, the reduced left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are variably displayed, and the acquisition points updated in the current specific game section are displayed on the acquisition point display 500. While being displayed, a history display 504 indicating the acquisition points of one specific game section in a square frame is displayed in a history display area 506 provided at the left center of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32.

  Specifically, in the first display state, 1 is displayed in one history display 504 based on the acquisition points stored in each of the first acquisition point storage area to the tenth acquisition point storage area of the acquisition history storage means 3120. In the example of FIG. 19B, the acquired points of the specific game section for the number of times are displayed, and this time is the second specific game section, and the acquisition history storage means 3120 stores the first acquired points. Since only the acquired points of the first specific game section are stored in the storage area, one history display 504 in which the acquired points of the first specific game section are displayed is displayed in the history display area 506.

  In the first display state, as shown in FIG. 19C, the history display area 506 has a maximum of 10 in 2 rows and 5 columns corresponding to each of the first acquisition point storage area to the tenth acquisition point storage area. The history display 504 can be displayed, and the first line of the history display area 506 displays the acquisition points of the fifth acquisition point storage area from the history display 504 indicating the acquisition points of the first acquisition point storage area in order from the left. 5 history displays 504 up to the history display 504 showing, and in the second line of the history display area 506, the history display 504 showing the acquired points of the sixth acquired point storage area in order from the left to the 10th acquired points Five history displays 504 up to a history display 504 showing the acquired points in the storage area are displayed. Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 19C, since 10 history displays 504 are displayed, each acquisition point of the specific game section from the first to the tenth is displayed as the acquisition history, The ten specific game sections have been repeated so far, and it is displayed that this time is the eleventh specific game section.

  In the special state of the twelfth specific game section, the storage values of the first acquisition point storage area to the tenth acquisition point storage area in which the acquired points of the specific game sections from the first to the tenth are stored are 0. Since the acquisition points of the eleventh specific game section have been stored in the first acquisition point storage area since the reset to, the acquisition display state is set to the first display state, as shown in FIG. As described above, the history display 504 indicating the acquired points of the eleventh specific game section is displayed at the left end of the first row of the history display area 506. And in this embodiment, instead of not displaying the 10 history displays 504 displaying the respective acquired points of the first to 10th specific game sections, “chance time × 10” is displayed above the history display area 506. As described above, an abbreviated continuous number display 508 indicating that the abbreviated continuous number that is the continuous number of specific game sections not displayed by the history display 504 is 10 is displayed. Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 20A, the eleventh identification as the acquisition history is displayed by displaying one history display 504 and an omitted consecutive count display 508 indicating that the omitted consecutive count is 10. The acquisition points of the game section are displayed, and it is displayed that this time is the twelfth specific game section as the number of consecutive times.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the omitted continuous number display 508 is not displayed in the specific game section from the first to the eleventh time based on the stored value of the continuous number counter 3116, and the specification from the 12th to the 21st time is specified. In the game section, an omitted continuous number display 508 indicating that the omitted continuous number is 10 times is displayed, and in the specific game section from the 22nd to the 31st time, the omitted continuous number indicating that the omitted continuous number is 20 times. As the display 508 is displayed, the omitted consecutive number display 508 is updated every time the stored values of the first acquisition point storage area to the tenth acquisition point storage area are reset to zero.

  Accordingly, in the special state of the 21st specific game section, when the acquisition display state is set to the first display state, the 11th specific game section is acquired in the history display area 506 as shown in FIG. Ten history displays 504 from a history display 504 showing points to a history display 504 showing points acquired for the 20th specific game section are displayed, and “chance time × 10” is omitted above the history display area 506. An omitted continuous number display 508 indicating that the continuous number is 10 is displayed. Thus, in the example of FIG. 20B, ten history displays 504 and an omitted consecutive number display 508 indicating that the omitted consecutive number of times is 10 are displayed. Each acquired point of the specific game section up to the first time is displayed, and as the number of consecutive times, 20 specific game sections are repeated until the previous time, and it is displayed that this time is the 21st specific game section.

  And in the special state of the 22nd specific game section, the stored value of the 1st acquisition point storage area-the 10th acquisition point storage area where each acquisition point of the specific game section from the 11th to the 20th is stored is 0. Since the acquisition points of the 21st specific game section have been stored in the first acquisition point storage area since the reset to, when the acquisition display state is set to the first display state, it is shown in FIG. As described above, the history display 504 indicating the acquired points of the 21st specific game section is displayed at the left end of the first line of the history display area 506, and is omitted continuously such as “chance time × 20” above the history display area 506. An omitted continuous number display 508 indicating that the number of times is 20 is displayed. Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 20C, the 21st identification as the acquisition history is displayed by displaying one history display 504 and an omitted consecutive number display 508 indicating that the omitted consecutive number of times is 20. The acquired points of the game section are displayed, and as the number of consecutive times, 21 specific game sections have been repeated so far, and it is displayed that this time is the 22nd specific game section.

  In the present embodiment, although not shown in the special game state of the second and subsequent specific game sections, the special game effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 as described above, and the specific game of this time is displayed on the acquisition point display 500. While the acquisition points updated in the section are displayed, the first operation display 502 is displayed in the non-display state, and when the operation button 26 is pressed in the non-display state, the acquisition display state is the first display state. In the first display state, a special game effect image is displayed, and the acquisition points updated in the current specific game section are displayed on the acquisition point display 500, while the history is the same as in the special state described above. A display 504 or an omitted continuous number display 508 is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the omitted consecutive number display 508 indicating that the omitted consecutive number of times is 90 is displayed in the specific game section from the 92nd time to the 101st time, but in the specific game section after the 102nd time, As shown in “chance time × 99”, an omitted consecutive number display 508 indicating that the omitted consecutive number is 99 or more is displayed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the acquired display state is the first display state, 1 to 10 history displays 504 are displayed in the second to eleventh specific game sections. The acquired points of the first to tenth specific game sections are displayed as the acquisition history, and the second to eleventh specific game section is displayed as the number of consecutive times. In the specific game section from the 12th to the 21st, 1 to 10 history displays 504 are displayed, and an omitted consecutive number display 508 indicating that the omitted consecutive number is 10 is displayed. As a result, the acquisition points of the 11th to 20th specific game sections are displayed as the acquisition history, and the current number of the 12th to 21st specific game sections is displayed as the consecutive number of times. Further, in the specific game section from the 22nd to the 31st game, 1 to 10 history displays 504 are displayed, and an omitted consecutive number display 508 indicating that the omitted consecutive number is 20 times is displayed. As a result, the acquired points of the 21st to 30th specific game sections are displayed as the acquisition history, and as the number of consecutive times, which of the 22nd to 31st specific game sections is displayed.

  That is, in this embodiment, in the specific game section up to the eleventh time, the acquisition history and the continuous number of times are displayed by displaying the respective acquisition points of all the specific game sections from the first time to the previous time by the history display 504. In the specific game section after the twelfth time, if the acquired points of all the specific game sections from the first time to the previous time are displayed by the history display 504, the history display 504 has too many numbers. Since it becomes difficult for the player to grasp the acquisition history and the number of consecutive times, and the history display area 506 is limited, each acquisition point of the last 10 specific game sections of the last specific game section is the maximum. Is displayed on the history display 504, and the abbreviated continuous count display 508 is displayed to display a part of the acquisition history and the continuous count. It is way.

  In the present embodiment, when the acquired display state is the first display state, the effect button 26 is displayed above the history display area 506 as shown in FIGS. 19 (B) to 20 (C). When the pressing operation is performed, a second operation display 510 is displayed indicating that the total points acquired up to the previous time are displayed. That is, the second operation display 510 is displayed at the same position as the position where the first operation display 502 shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, when the operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed in the first display state, the acquisition display state is set to the second display state, and in the second display state, for example, the second and subsequent specific game sections In the special state, as shown in FIG. 21, an effect image in the special state is displayed, and the reduced left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are variably displayed, and the acquired points are displayed. 500, the acquired points updated in the current specific game section are displayed, and based on the stored value of the total acquired point counter 3122, the previous time that is the total of the acquired points of the specific game section for each time from the first time to the previous time A total earned point display 512 indicating the total earned points up to is displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the acquired display state is the second display state, as shown in FIG. 21, when an operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed above the total acquired point display 512, the previous display is performed. A third operation display 514 indicating that the total acquired points are not displayed is displayed. That is, the third operation display 514 is located at the same position as the position where the first operation display 502 shown in FIG. 19A is displayed and the position where the second operation display 510 shown in FIG. Is displayed. When the operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed in the second display state, the acquired display state is set to the non-display state.

  Further, in the special game state of the second and subsequent specific game sections, when the acquisition display state is the second display state, although not shown, the special game effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 as described above. While the acquired points updated in the current specific game section are displayed on the acquired points display 500, the total acquired points display 512 indicating the total acquired points up to the previous time is displayed as in the special state described above and the third When the operation display 514 is displayed and an operation of pressing the effect button 26 is performed in the second display state, the acquired display state is set to a non-display state.

  Thus, in this embodiment, in the special state and the special game state of the second and subsequent specific game sections, the non-display state, the first display state, and the second display each time the player performs an operation of pressing the effect button 26. In the non-display state, the history display 504 or the omitted consecutive number display 508 and the total acquisition point display 512 are not displayed in the non-display state so that the display state of the special state or the special game is displayed. In the first display state, the history display 504 or the omitted consecutive number display 508 is displayed but the total earned point display 512 is not displayed in the first display state so that the player identifies the acquired history as the acquired history. It is made easy to grasp the number of consecutive game sections, and in the second display state, the total earned point display 512 is displayed but the history display 5 4 or omissions consecutive count display 508 so as not be displayed, the player has to make it easier to grasp the total acquired points up to the last time.

  Below, the flow of the process which the production | presentation control means 300 performs in relation to displaying the log | history display 504 grade | etc., Is demonstrated using a flowchart. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, in the present embodiment, the start control process 300 is performed when the start condition for the first specific game section is satisfied in the start process performed at the start of the first specific game section (step S100). Y), the specific game section flag is set to the ON state in the sub memory 310 (step S102), the stored value of the continuous number counter 3116 is set to 1 (step S104), and the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is set to 0. It is set (step S106), 0 is set to the value of the acquisition history storage means 3120 (step S108), and 0 is set to the value of the total acquisition point counter 3122 (step S110).

  Then, in the earned point update process shown in FIG. 23, when a payout signal indicating that a game ball has been paid out as a result of the game ball entering the first big prize port 50 or the second big prize port 56 is received (steps). S120) When the specific game section flag is set to ON (Y in step S122), 1 is added to the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 (step S124).

  In the acquisition history update process shown in FIG. 24, when the execution of the special game for all rounds is completed (Y in step S130), the specific game section flag is set to the ON state (step If the gaming state is shifted to a special state (Y in S132) (Y in Step S134), the number of history displays 504 being displayed is 10, that is, the first acquisition point storage area of the acquisition history storage means 3120 It is determined whether or not acquisition points are stored in each of the tenth acquisition point storage areas (step S136).

  If the number of displayed history displays 504 is 10 (Y in step S136), the stored value of the acquisition history storage unit 3120 is reset to 0 (step S138), and the ordinal number of the acquisition history storage unit 3120 The stored value of the acquired point counter 3118 is stored in the acquired point storage area where is the smallest (step S140). On the other hand, when the number of displayed history displays 504 is not ten (N in step S136), the acquisition of the ordinal number of the acquisition history storage unit 3120 is the minimum without resetting the storage value of the acquisition history storage unit 3120 to 0.

In the first display state, for example, one to eight history displays 504 are displayed, so that the history display 504 of the most recent eight specific game sections is displayed. At the same time, a reset number display corresponding to the number of times the stored value of the acquisition history storage unit 3120 is reset to 0 may be displayed. That is, eight specific game sections may be taken as a group, and the number of omitted consecutive times may be displayed by the reset number display. In this case, for example, in the 23rd specific game section, six history displays 504 are displayed, and the number of resets indicating that the number of times the stored value of the acquisition history storage means 3120 is reset to 0 is two. A display may be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which 1 to 10 history displays 504 are displayed in the twelfth and later specific game sections has been described. However, in the twelfth and subsequent specific game sections, the latest 10 The history display 504 of the specific game section of times may be displayed. In this case, in the twelfth and subsequent specific game sections, the omitted continuous number display 508 may be updated every time one specific game section ends. For example, in the 23rd specific game section, 10 history displays 504 indicating the points acquired in the 10 most recent specific game sections are displayed, and the omitted continuous number display 508 indicating that the omitted continuous number is 12 times. It may be displayed.

  In the above embodiment and the modification, the history display 504 and the omitted continuous number display 508 or the reset number display are displayed in the first display state. However, the non-display state and the first display state are described. The acquired display state is switched between the second display state and the third display state, the history display 504 is displayed in the first display state, and the omitted continuous number display 508 or the reset number display is displayed in the second display state.

The continuous number display may be displayed together with the total acquired point display 512 in the second display state, or the continuous number display may be displayed in the second display state and the total acquired point in the third display state. A display 512 may be displayed.

  Further, in the above embodiment and the modification, an example is given in which ten acquired point storage areas are provided in the acquired history storage unit 3120 in correspondence with the number of history displays 504 that can be displayed in the history display area 506. As described above, the acquisition history storage unit 3120 may have more acquisition point storage areas than the number of history displays 504 that can be displayed in the history display area 506.

  Further, in the above embodiment and the modification, the acquisition history that is the history of the acquisition points of the maximum 10 times of the specific game section up to the previous time and the consecutive number of the specific game section can be displayed. The example that the total points acquired up to the previous time, which is the total of the points acquired in each specific game section, can be displayed has been explained. However, the maximum number of points acquired in the last 10 specific game sections up to this time The acquisition history, which is a history, and the number of consecutive times of a specific game section can be displayed, and the total acquisition points so far, which is the total of the acquisition points of each specific game section so far, can be displayed. May be. In this case, the history display 504 indicating the acquisition points of the current specific game section and the total acquisition point display 512 are updated and displayed in accordance with the update of the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the number of game balls paid out by the small hit game in the special state of each specific game section and the special game in the special game state is counted as an acquisition point, and one specific game section is acquired. The history display 504 showing the points and the total acquisition point display 512 showing the total of the acquisition points of the specific game section of each time from the first time to the previous time have been described as examples on the liquid crystal display 32. The number of game balls paid out by the small hit game in the special state of the game section is counted as an acquisition point, but the number of game balls paid out by the special game in the special game state of each specific game section is acquired points. It corresponds to the number of game balls paid out by the small hit game in one specific game section without counting as In the liquid crystal display 32, a history display showing the earned points and a total earned point display showing the total of the earned points corresponding to the number of game balls paid out by the small hit game in each specific game section from the first time to the previous time are displayed. It may be displayed.

  In addition to the game balls paid out by the small hit game in the special state of each specific game section, the number of game balls paid out when the game ball enters one of the winning holes is counted as an acquisition point. In addition, a history display showing the points earned corresponding to the number of game balls paid out by entering a small hit game or one of the winning holes in one specific game section or from the first to the previous time In the liquid crystal display 32, a total earned point display indicating the total number of earned points corresponding to the number of game balls paid out as a result of entering a small hit game or any winning opening in each specific game section of It may be displayed.

  In addition, in the special state of each specific game section, the number of wins per unit is counted, a history display showing the number of wins per unit in one specific game section, and in each specific game section from the first to the previous time A total winning number display showing the total number of winning times per winning may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. In this case, the display indicating the number of wins per bonus may be displayed as it is, or, for example, 10 winning per win may be displayed as one set. Good.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the stored value of the acquisition point counter 3118 is updated and the acquisition point indicated by the acquisition point display 500 is updated every time a game ball is paid out by a small hit game has been described. However, each time a game ball is paid out by a small hit game, the stored value of the acquired point counter 3118 is updated, but the acquired points indicated by the acquired point display 500 are not updated immediately. As one set, the earned points indicated by the earned point display 500 may be updated every time the number of wins per unit is ten.

  In the above embodiment, in the special state of each specific game section, as shown in FIG. 17B, when a special lottery is performed, the reduced left effect design 360 is displayed in the upper right part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. When the reduced effect design 362 and the reduced right effect design 364 are variably displayed and the small hit is won, the reduced left effect design 360, the reduced effect design 362 and the reduced right effect design 364 are in a mode corresponding to the small hit. In the special state of each specific game section, as described in the stop display, when a special lottery is performed, in addition to the reduced left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362 and the reduced right effect symbol 364, the liquid crystal In the lower part of the display area of the display 32, the special left effect symbol, the special middle effect symbol, and the special right effect symbol are displayed in a variable manner. In particular, if the left effect, special medium effect, and special right effect symbols are stopped and displayed in the same manner corresponding to the jackpot, and the big win is won, the special left effect symbol, the special medium effect symbol, and the special right effect are displayed. If the symbol is stopped and displayed in the same manner corresponding to the jackpot, and the game is lost, the special left effect design, the special middle effect design and the special right effect design will be stopped and displayed in a mode corresponding to the loss. It may be.

  Here, the special left effect symbol, the special middle effect symbol, and the special right effect symbol are variably displayed at the same timing as when the reduced left effect symbol 360, the reduced effect symbol 362, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are variably displayed. The reduced left effect symbol 360, the reduced effect symbol 362, and the reduced right effect symbol 364 may be stopped and displayed at the same timing as when the reduced left effect symbol 362 is stopped. 362 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are variably displayed at a timing different from the timing at which the reduced right effect symbol 364 is variably displayed, and at a timing different from the timing at which the reduced left effect symbol 360, the reducing effect symbol 362 and the reduced right effect symbol 364 are stopped and displayed. You may make it stop-display.

  For example, in the special state of each specific game section, the variation display and stop display of the special left effect symbol, special middle effect symbol and special right effect symbol are repeated regardless of the timing of the special lottery. The special left production symbol, special middle production design symbol, and special right production design symbol and special right production design symbol will be stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to losing. If the jackpot is displayed in a manner corresponding to the jackpot, and the jackpot is won, the special left effect symbol, the special medium effect symbol, and the special right effect symbol may be stopped and displayed in a mode corresponding to the jackpot.

  In the above embodiment and the modification, the specific game section of each time has been described as an example including the special state and the special game state. However, the special game state is based on the fact that the 16-round probability variation symbol E is won in the normal state. When the game is started, the special game state for the first time may be included in the first specific game section. In this case, at the start of the first special game state, a value corresponding to 1 is written in the continuous number counter 3116 as the continuous number of times of the specific game section, and the acquisition point counter 3118, the acquisition history storage means 3120, A value corresponding to 0, which is an initial value, is written in the total earned point counter 3122, and the update of the earned point counter 3118 is started from the initial special game state, and even if the first special game state ends, the earned points The stored value of the counter 3118 may not be reset, and the acquisition point counter 3118 may be continuously updated even in a special state after the end of the first special gaming state.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, in the special state or special game state of a specific game area, switching of an acquisition display state is validated, and between a non-display state, a 1st display state, a 2nd display state, and a 3rd display state. As described above, the acquired display state can be switched. However, in the short-time state after the end of the special game state of the specific game section, switching of the acquisition display state is effective as in the special state and special game state of the specific game section. The acquired display state may be switched between the non-display state, the first display state, the second display state, and the third display state, and is different from the special state and the special game state of the specific game section. The acquisition display state switching may be invalidated, and the acquisition display state may not be switched between the non-display state, the first display state, the second display state, and the third display state.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which an effect of distinguishing the special state and the special game state is executed in the specific game section has been described, but an effect that does not distinguish the special state and the special game state is executed in the specific game section. You may make it do.
